Nikki Bella admits she didn't get her hopes up too high last Sunday, when she had an inkling that her now-fiance, John Cena, was going to propose.

But, she did have one very big clue!

Bella, 33, was behind the bar on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen on Wednesday, when she answered a caller's question on whether or not she was really surprised by Cena's sweet proposal at WrestleMania 33 in Orlando, Florida. Cena got down on one knee after he and Bella won the mixed tag team match, before officially putting a ring on it.

"You know what, there was a lot of speculation but his mom was sitting front row -- first time she's ever been to a live wrestling event in over 16 years," she replied. "I was like, maybe this is for me, oh no, there might be a swerve to his mom, and then it was for me!"

"And then I forgot how to breathe and I got really nervous and I said 'yes,'" she added.

Bella -- whose real name is Stephanie Nicole Garcia-Colace -- and 39-year-old Cena have been dating since 2012.
